Exactly as Michael described. You can also use multiple @replies to reference different people. Like @KerryMcCarthy did you get @BristolUser's letter. That way both will see the message.
The other things you will probably find adds more value to your twitter use will be a client of some kind (I've no idea about Windows clients, although I use one called Spaz that works across all platforms. Others swear by tweetdeck), and a decent URL shortening service. With 140 characters to a message you can use something like http://is.gd/ to shorten a URL, and thus save space.
You can. You can also use ping.fm to update both, and myspace.
ReplyDeleteIf you are using twitter for facebbok then you'll want to turn off the @replies, assuming you're conversing with people.
What does the @replies thing do?
ReplyDeleteThanks by the way, very helpful. And you're right about Facebook.
If you use @XYZ in your twitter message then the user "XYZ" will receive a copy of your message in their "@replies" tab.

@KerryMcCarthy Did you get my letter?
Then you will get a copy of Bristol User's message in your @Replies tab.
